Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court to allow $783 million research-funding cuts
BERKSHIRE COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 24 – The appeal seeks to reinstate $783 million in NIH funding cuts tied to diversity and inclusion programs amid legal challenges from 16 states and advocacy groups.
- The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court on July 24, 2025, to allow cuts to about $783 million in NIH research funding tied to gender identity and DEI programs.
- This appeal follows a federal judge's June ruling in Massachusetts blocking the abrupt NIH cuts deemed discriminatory and filed by 16 Democratic-led states and research groups.
- The NIH grant cancellations arose from executive orders signed soon after Trump’s January return to the presidency directing agencies to end awards on diversity, equity, and gender identity research.
- Solicitor General Sauer stated that the appeal seeks to prevent certain district courts from disregarding the administration’s rulings, referencing a closely divided Supreme Court decision from April that upheld similar reductions in education funding.
- If allowed, the funding cuts could reshape government-backed research priorities, though critics warn the moves politicize science and harm public health outcomes worldwide.
